ehm...i still haven't understand how the shared pop works...

I mean...

i create a POP account let's call it smith@myhost.com

now...how i handle more users with that account ???

to whom ppl have to send mail ???

and what happen when a mail is sended from that account ???

sorry...but i'm really confused...

the individual pop works fine...but there's no automatic process to create/delete user as i read in the forum...

so i'd like to switch to shared pop...but nothing works...

i also tried to make an alias so...collins@myhost.com goes to smith@myhost.com...

now i've created the user collins in webmail, with the shared pop box smith@myhost.com

when i run incoming.pl, the mail just disappear...i can't found it anywhere...

and just to finish...there's no maint.pl in my batch directory...is it normal ???

i'm really sorry for all this questions...but I'd like to see everything working :D

Hi!

To use shared accounts do this:

1. Create a pop box called 'gmail'.

2. Set gmail to be the "catch all" account. That means any mail addressed to @yourdomain.com that does not match an existing pop box will go to 'gmail'.

3. In Gossamer Mail, set the email handling to use gmail and put in the password.

4. Setup incoming.pl to run in cron automatically every few minutes.

incoming.pl will then check the gmail account every couple of minutes and distribute any mail it finds in there to the proper user.

Let me know if this makes sense, or if you are stuck.

Cheers,

Alex

maybe it make sense...so...if i send a mail to tizo@localdomain.com and it wont find that POP user, it will redirect it into qmail@localdomain.com...

now...maybe i'm wrong...in the headers there still the user tizo@localdomain.com....??? so webmail could put it into the right box...

yes :D it make sense...but what if that user is not defined in webmail ???

Thx a lot

Exactly! If the user is not in Gossamer Mail, then it will go to your Undeliverable section in the admin.
